There are a variety of counselling practices or ‘modalities as they are called.
The BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy’ website link below gives a brief description of these different forms:

My own practice would be described as ‘Integrative’ insofar as it is informed by a number of different modalities such as Person-Centred, Psychoanalytic and Existential therapy.

It is an invitation to make the time and place your own and to provide a safe environment for you to explore your life journey and the events and choices that you feel are significant to your personal growth. In this respect the sessions are ‘client-led’ and provide an opportunity to share and reflect on your concerns as a journey rather than a judgment.

• By video-link if preferred, or if there are COVID concerns.
• Face-to-face at a private residential location* subject to appropriate health measures being met.
  *please note that regrettably the residential location does not provide disabled access or facilities.

Our session confidentiality and safety are regulated by the BACP Ethical Framework which is available of the BACP website: https://www.bacp.co.uk/events-and-resources/ethics-and-standards/ethical-framework-for-the-counselling-professions/

Normally sessions are arranged on a once-weekly basis (but can differ) and each session is an hour. The requirement/preference of the client decides how long the treatment will continue, and this can be on a fixed term basis or an open-ended arrangement. In either case it is usual to agree sessions in blocks to provide continuity of sessions.

For both counselling and Supervision:

The initial assessment fee is £30

Thereafter the standard fee is £45 per hour

Concessionary fees can be offered to student trainees and to low-income clients.

Two national organisations, BACP and UKCP (among others) hold a register of counsellor/therapists that you can research and contact at your discretion. The links for these two organisations is shown below:
